OLD-TIME HYDROPHOBIA
CURES"

The old recipe of "a hair of the dog
that bit you was almost literally realiz-
ed in a prescription for the cure of hydro
phobia much in vogue with the ''Pasteur''
of the fifteenth century. Take mastiff
pup of IA month old, and stuff the same
with cloves, cinnamon, and divers other
spices, and thereafter boil the carcass
entire, the which, taken from the pot
and laid unto the part that hath been bit
ten, will without doubt do much good
which, some how or other, it did not.
A more primitive but successful method
was employed within the memory of
living men in remote part of Ireland,
the patient being the eldest son of the
family, a fine lad of 10. His recovery
appearing hopeless from the strong
symptoms of hydrophobia which he ex-
hibited, the doctors decided upon bleed
ing him to death as the only alternative
to the barbarous plan of smothering
under feather bed, which was then
common. A vein was opened, and he
was locked into an clubhouse and left to
die. But toward evening the milkmaid
of the household, passing near the spot
with her pail, was amazed to hear the
sufferers voice family asking for ''some-
thing to drink" Overjoyed at this I'M
mistakable sign of recovery, she lost no
time in summoning assistance, and the
young mans life was saved, the physi-
clans ascribing his extraordinary es-
cape to the carrying off of the poison by
the copious flow of blood.-N. Y. Tri-
bune.

Bennett had young gibbon siamang
(hylobates syndoctytus). He had scolded
him several times for having put various
objects out of place, and especially once
or twice for having meddled with a GER

and put the soap nearly in the same place
from where he had taken it.
There was certainly something more
than instinct in this conduct. The mon
key showed clearly 10y his first and by
his second action that he knew he was
doing wrong. What is reason if not the
exercise of this faculty? Henry Howard

A PRISON FOR SALE.
THOUSANDS OF CELLS vACATED---A TER
RiBLE PLACE OF PUNISHMENT.

From the London Daily News.l
About the largest prison in England is
for sale, together with the nearly nine
acres of ground it stands on, and to any
persons with plenty of money and Il de-
sire for an absolutely unique estate Il fine
opportunity is presented. Coldbath
Fields Prison has provision for some
where about 20O0 prisoners, and any one
who would like to have really impress
sive idea of the horrors of great penal
establishment like this would perhaps
get "A more vivid and in some respects Il
really more accurate idea now that all
the prisoners are cleared out than he
would be likely to get by an inspection
of the prison when fully tenanted.
But the 2000 solitary cells are now all
tenantless, and the whole of the vast
range of buildings is given up to some
thing of that solitude which for nearly a
a hundred years past, must, in some of
these cells, have been pressing, with the
benumbing influence of slow-stealing
death, on the hearts of poor wretches
confined here. In the old part of the
prison the gloom and desolation strike
one most forcibly. This older portion
was built in 1894, and terrible place of
punishment it must have been if we may
Judge from the wing which was embodied
in the new Jail. The cells were vaulted
overhead, were very feebly lighted by
small, heavily grated windows; they
were floored with stone, and the doors
perhaps with some idea of ventilation
though ventilation was very little thought
of in those days-came short of the floor
by two or three inches, so that from the
stony corridors outside the wind cOulC
freely circulate, while neither in summer
nor in winter was there any sort of pro
vision for warming. For many year:
hopeless wretches were thrust into sucl
dens as these to live or die, and this sys
tematic barbarity was at one period il

TRIBES OF LITTLE FOLKS.
The Three Most Notable Communities OF
Dwarfs in Africa.

Dwarfs in Africa.
A while ago Mr.. Grenfell of the Congo
missions encountered on the Bosari river,
south of the Congo, the Batwa dwarfs
whom Stanley mentions in "The Dark
Continent, though Stanley did not see
them. Grenfell says these little people
exist over a large extent of country, their
villages being scattered here and there
among other tribes. Wissman and Pogge
also met them few years ago in their
Journey TO Nyangwe.
1t was long supposed that the story of
Herodotus about the piglnies of Africa
was mythical, but within the past twenty
years abundant evidence has accumulated
of the existence of number of tribes of
curious little folks in equatorial Africa.
The chief among these tribes are the
Aka, whom Schweinfurth found north
west of Albert Nyassa; the Obongo dis
covered by Du Chaillu in West Africa,
southeast of Gaboon, and the Batwa
south of Congo.
These little people range in height from
feet 2 inches to about feet 9 inches.
They are intellectually as well as physic-
ally inferior to the other tribes of Africa.
They are perhaps nearer the brute king
dom than any other human beings. The
Obongo. for instance, wear no semblance
of clothing: make no huts except to bend
over and fasten to the ground the tops of
three or four young trees, which they
cover with leaves; possess no arts except
the making of bows and arrows. and do
not till the soil. They live on the smaller
game of the forest, and on nuts and ber-
ries. They regard the leopard, which
now and then makes meal of one of
them. as their deadliest enemy. They
live only a few days or weeks in one
place, burying themselves in some other
part of the interminable woods as soon as
the nuts and other food supplies near
their camp begin to grow scarce.
When Schwenfurth first met the Aka
dwarfs he found himself surrounded by
what he supposed was crowd of impu-
dent boys. There were several hundred
of them, and he soon found that they
were veritable dwarfs, and that their
tribe probably numbered several thousand
souls. One of these dwarfs was taken to
Italy a few years ago, was taught tC
read, and excited much interest among
scientific men. There are other tribes of
dwarfs in Abyssinia and also in Somali-
land.-New York Sun.

Free Hint for a Fortune.

"There's a fortune awaiting the man
who will open hasty pudding eating
houses in New York city, said an old
hotel man, land if l was young I'd do
it. Old New Workers remember Parker
very well. He opened a cozy little res
taurant on Dey street forty odd years
ago. At that time there was more travel
to New York by the night boats on the
Sound and Hudson river proportional;y
than now, and Parker's place was very
convenient for travellers to get their
breakfast. He always had a blazing fire
in CRATE, and the morning papers were
at hand. Parker was the first restaurant
keeper here to give his customers the
papers while they waited.
''He made a speciality of buckwheat
cakes and no man in the city before or
since ever made such cakes. He expert.
mented and had a recipe of his own. The
cakes were light, yet substantial, round
at the bottom of the plate, crisp but not
greasy and preserved just enough of the
peculiar flavor of the buckwheat. Park
ers buckwheats became famous, and he
made very large fortune. He built a
place on the North river, and was worth
million when he died. There's some
consolation in earning million and feel
ing that every penny of it represented a
delightful equivalent.
ANY man who gets a reputation for a
speciality in New York has struck a gold
mine. Now, fried hasty pudding as they
serve it down east would catch on,
know. 1t would be a revelation to most
people. Now and then what is called
fried mush is served, but sad and sog
gy mess it is. New York Sun.
